Blackstone Oil Report on Break In Oil
Being some what nutty about documentation on my cars.... I took a sample of the oil at the Drop Off in Munich after putting 1,242 miles on the car on our European Delivery. Knowing that they'll change the oil before I get it back I wanted to get the sample while I could.
When I got home I sent if off to Blackstone Laboratories and got the below report on it. I'll change the oil every 5,000 miles and keep the oil reports on each one. Nothing special here.... but that is a good thing.

You're welcome. Nope, never had an M3. Came damn close once but backed out.

Assuming you are not going with the factory change interval it will be interesting to see the test results at at next oil change.

I will change the oil in another 3,800 miles; when it hits 5,000 miles. Then every 5,000 miles or yearly, which ever comes first. And, I'll have it analized by BlackStone and post it here. I have a Porsche that I have done the same on for years. It is a good way to monitor the engine.

It will be interesting to see the results at 5k miles. I think you will find enough additives still present to go a bit longer, but of course the number of track days you do will be a factor too.
